In my opinion, Perry Smith is undoubtedly one of the characters who was completely altered in order to make the story a better one. The manner in which he sucks his thumb and wets his bed shows that the character is not all the he portrays that he is at the beginnings of the novel. Through this, Capote is able to show that even the strongest characters at times have weak points and down moments.

It is without a doubt that the novel Going After Cacciato by Tim O’Brien is told from a third person perspective. Specifically, this third person is the protagonist, known as Paul Berlin in the novel. As the novel unfolds, it is clearly seen within the text that Paul Berlin is the one responsible for conjuring up the chase after Cacciato. From there, the whole story is told from his perspective. Now, because it is told in this perspective, the audience only learn of what Mr. Berlin know. This is unlike other types of writing, referred to as omniscient point of view.
